Finally, existence of the technology, such as internet and intranetand hardware and software that supports this technology, that would make the idea ofsynergic laboratories realizable. Nowadays, this technology is readily accessible, while sucha plan would have been difficult to implement a few years ago.In the following section we will discuss briefly the Mechanical Engineering curriculum andthe laboratory structure that supports this curriculum.IV.

INTRODUCTIONIn the beginning, engineering was directed toward military applications. The advent of“Civil Engineering” was the first step to put engineering to civilian use. Earlyengineering activities were physically demanding and only suitable for men. This is notto say that engineering activities were not mentally demanding as they involvedcalculation and design based on science and mathematics. The discipline, therefore,attracted men with

Eventually the Institute of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) was founded whichbrought electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering technician institutions under one umbrella[9] 2. Subsequently the IIE merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers to form theInstitution of Engineering and Technology (IET). It embraced technicians and technologists underthe same umbrella in several ways similar to the way American IEEE embraces graduates with fouryear engineering degrees and those with degrees in technology.

The two-step FEED-Solution (F-S) design process modelis simple for students to understand, and as such, it is very likely to improve student learning. InFigure 2, we show the F-S model for the case of market pull. Since the market is the driver ofthis process, we refer to it as market driven. This is distinct from the case in which an invention(technology push), a spin-off (from say R&D), or public policy is the driver. None of thereferenced engineering design texts teach this F-S model

synthesis of knowledge. This has occurred not only within science, but betweenscience and technology and between science and the humanities. The forward progress ofsystemology in the study of large-scale complex systems requires a synthesis of science and thehumanities in addition to a synthesis of science and technology.When synthesizing human-made systems, unintended effects can be minimized and the naturalsystem can sometimes be improved by engineering the larger human-modified system instead ofengineering only the human-made. If system evaluation is applied beyond the human-made, thenthe boundary of the target system (meant to include both natural and human-made systems) shouldbe adopted as the boundary of the human-modified domain.Systems

As part of this study, we also applied Refero© for assessingstudent pre-conceptions. This use aided tremendously in presenting course content but required afundamental shift in the method of instruction to increased flexibility in content focus as well asdirection. An interesting observation was that the student wanted to discuss the basis for some ofthe pre-conceptions and its relationship to engineering principles. It was also observed that suchpreconceptions had to be addressed repeatedly before students were convinced to change theirthought-processes
